Island Fun with NancyOne of the best in the series. Great minigames.
The most intuitive of the ND games I've played and the one I've used less walkthroughs for.
Unlike some of the other games which seem random in gameplay, this one is easy to follow through without help (JrMode).
Shame there is only one place to moor boat on island as it would've been more fun to hop off in other beaches on the island. More characters to interact with would also have been fun.

Challenging Puzzles and Great SurprisesA typical Nancy Drew, terrific. I love the challenge in all Nancy Drew adventures because you have to give them some thought. They don't just jump you from one puzzle to the next. You have to really explore the scenes and work at them. The hidden objects are not just piles of trash to go through, they are more subtle and more appropriate to the whole story line. The puzzles aren't all alike and they often require some research, provided by the authors, to solve them. Thanks for providing them.

I loved this game!I hesitated before pushing the BUY button because I read a lot of negative reviews but it is, after all, a Nancy Drew game and I've loved them all so I bought it and played it and had a ball. It is just such a FUN game!
It has a different feel to it--more laid back than most of the other games. There's so much to do on the island. You can play with monkeys, comb the beach, go rock climbing, scuba dive, go sailing. There are lots of games and puzzles which I enjoyed. I played the Junior detective level, so they were easier and I didn't have the frustration many others have apparently felt...until I reached the end.
I think I died about a hundred times before I finally made it and I think I was doing it right. The instructions were not very clear, so that was frustrating.
However, it was fun to get to know Bess and George a bit better and enjoy a vacation in the Bahamas!

Don't give up!"Ransom of the 7 Ships" is definetly one of the best ND games I played, and I played more than 75% of BF's ND games. I must admitt, the puzzles are challenging, sometimes really nasty! But there is a lot of help in the www!
If you want a lot to do, and a lot to laugh about, this game is a buy for you.

Keeps true to the Nancy Drew lineI love these Nancy Drew games because they are always challenging but never repetitive. I have been playing from the beginning but decided to get a more recent one to change it up. It did not disappoint!

Nancy Drew: Ransom of the Seven ShipsPersonally, being a fan of Nancy Drew and Her Interactive, I thought this game was great. The puzzles were difficult to a certain level and the story line was excellent. The ending is a little inscrutable, but overall a good game.

Amazing mystery game!If you are bored of all the lame mystery games then try this one! Nancy Drew games are fun,challenging,and full of surprises! In this game you talk to other suspects, call friends for help, discover hidden passages, solve puzzles, and of coarse solve the mystery! If you really enjoy this game you should try all 25 of them. Now granite, sometime I get really frustrated on these puzzles, but of coarse there are always cheat codes! Hope you'll love this game too.
